I assume this is a kind of mixed marketing strategy, so eclipse won't get in. If you don't mind the possible corporate political motivation behind this, it's not a big deal. Install Netbeans, change the keymap to Eclipse compatibility and start coding. Shouln't feel much different for this kind of project.

you all have a good chance of winning! yes that's correct i'm not aloud to enter *bbooo*...netbeans is great come on where talking $25 bigunz...

if anyone needs code related mumbles then ping here on the forum and i'll go kick people a cool one is to put the height and width into the scene and not the stage (this makes your layout work without little hacks to do with title bars):

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

varmyscene : Scene = Scene {width: 600height: 300content: ...}

// then add it to the Stage

varmystage : Stage = Stage {scene: myscene}

oh hint: the more visual it is the better in my book, so games or just nutty stuff is top draw stuff.good luck! lets do it... has to be a jgo member that wins surely?

that's a very good market plan to propagate javaFX, "the return on innvestisment" ( advertisment and finished demo ) will be huge in comparaison of the advertising budget (prices). seems that more and more compagny use those advertising method.

I had a look at the judging criteria, and there are six equally weighted criteria. One is for being portable between desktop and browser (or touch screen for mobile entries), which every valid entry will get. The remaining five are just re-phrasings of two criteria:

Criteria 1: The Idea (3/5) - Viral nature of the application, which includes the ability and desire of the user to pass the application or knowledge of their application to their social network- Originality and uniqueness of the application, which includes the problem addressed or the innovative nature of the application- Creativity and fun, which includes how the application differentiates itself and reflects the creativity of the developer to provide enjoyment and capture the user's imagination

Criteria 2: The Polish (2/5)- Technical merit and use of JavaFX features- End user experience, which includes the performance and robustness of the application

Looks like games will fit this pretty well. It's just a shame that it is only aimed at the filthy rich who can afford Windows or a Mac
